.TH "\fBflow-expire\fP" "1"
.SH "NAME"
\fBflow-expire\fP \(em Manage storage of flow file archives by expiring old data\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fBflow-expire\fP [-h]  [-d\fI debug_level\fP]  [-e\fI expire_count\fP]  [-E\fI expire_size\fP] -w\fI workdir\fP 
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The \fBflow-expire\fP utility will remove the oldest flow files
in a directory based on either a count of files or space utilization\&.  The
directory is recursively searched for flow files\&.  Files that do not have a
flow-tools signature will be ignored\&.  The internal timestamp is used so
backups or copies of the flow files that do not retain the original
timestamp will not impact the operation of \fBflow-expire\fP\&. 
\fBflow-expire\fP is typically used to manage storage in
a distributed environment where flows are collected on a different
server than they are archived\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IP "-d\fI debug_level\fP" 10
Enable debugging\&.
.IP "-e\fI expire_count\fP" 10
Retain the maximum number of files so that the total file count is
less than \fIexpire_count\fP\&.
.IP "-E\fI expire_size\fP" 10
Retain the maximum number of files so that the total storage is less
than \fIexpire_size\fP\&.  The letters b,K,M,G can
be used as multipliers, ie 16 Megabytes is 16M\&.
.IP "-h" 10
Display help\&.
.IP "-w\fI workdir\fP" 10
Work in \fBworkdir\fP\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Remove the oldest flow files in \fB/flows/krc4\fP until
the total storage is less then 2 Gigabytes\&.
.PP
  \fBflow-expire -E2Gig -w /flows/krc4\fP
.PP
Remove the oldest flow files in \fB/flows/krc4\fP until
the total number of files is less then 100\&.
.PP
  \fBflow-expire -e100 -w /flows/krc4\fP
.SH "BUGS"
.PP
Empty directories are not removed\&.
